How pre-conventional impulsivity looks differently in Toni than in Matt. And ways it be harnessed by Love for our good and God’s glory.
Breaking down Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development helps Matt and Toni make sense of some of the strong emotions going on inside of her when she comes up against rules-based Christians, why some people are so afraid of the Way of Love and how often our motives (even Toni's) are really about avoiding pain.
In this new series Struggling to Stay Joy Fueled and Jesus Led, Toni invites you into conversations between her and her husband, Matt Daniels. These conversations are going to be completely unplanned, where Toni shares something that recently triggered her and then asks Matt to help make sense of what is going on.
In this episode, Matt helps Toni understand why some institutional churches shut down a movement like Godly Play when it is actually creating true character transformation among their congregants and children, and in turn creating Vibrant Families of Jesus. for more information about Godly Play go to https://www.godlyplayfoundation.org/
In this “Struggling to Stay Joy fueled and Jesus Led, Toni and Matt discuss the dangers of believing that God desires us to run fast and far to complete the great commission. What if we are to run when He says run and rest when He says rest and wait when he says wait? How would that change the way we approach ministry and the way we do or do not judge others?
In this episode, Toni has the joy of interviewing her good friend, colleague and fellow author of Relational Revolution and Joy Fueled, Dr. Kent Smith. A professor of 30+ years at Abilene Christian University and co-founder of LK10 and the Eden Center for Regenerative Culture, Dr. Smith has lived a lifetime experimenting with learning communities and is a master architect of creating communities that can love and lead well together with each other and with God. The inability to healthily make decisions together has brought about more division and corruption of power in the church (and world for that matter) than almost any other issue. Dr. Smith shares with us his journey into what he has coined “Divine Governance” and how it creates a way for the Kingdom of God to break forth as a result of every voice reflecting the image of God.

What is necessary in order for Christians to stay relational with other Chrisitians even when they seem to be filled with fear, anger or even hate for others. When “soul murder” as Wilder calls it is encouraged within some church contexts, how do we not see those Christians as enemies and shut down on them?

Last week we began a new series on Resourcing the Relational Revolution where you heard a little about the different people and organizations that have been fueling the value shifts that are helping people rediscover church as healthy heart-to-heart connection.
Today we have the honor of hearing from Dr Wilder, one of the thought fathers behind this Relational Revolution. Dr. Wilder founder of Life Model Works, has co-authored many books including his latest Escaping Enemy Mode, written with Ray Woolridge.
In this episode, we check in and listen to God together, following God’s lead into a discussion about how elevating your own status can easily trigger enemy mode in others. Dr wilder answers questions such as, "Is competitive thinking automatically enemy mode?" And "What would be different if we could form healthy attachment with our enemies?"
This was a deeply challenging and encouraging time with Dr. Wilder. If you are ready to learn how to escape enemy mode and love those who think differently than you, pick up Escaping Enemy Mode today and begin understanding God’s call for His body to love instead of hate.
There are several organizations that are resourcing the Relational Revolution through producing content and training. In this episode, I fill you in on several of the vital source organizations and share what they offer and their differences.
In following episodes, I will interview the founders of these organizations to more fully share what their organization does. You will also learn what their unique contribution is so that you can see how they complement each other and what your next steps are for training.
So much of life is out of our control and it can be tempting to grasp at solutions to feel stable and good about ourselves. What does it look like instead to face these struggles in relationship with God through our community? In this episode you get to be a fly on the wall during one of Toni's communities of practice to see how they showed up for her in a time of difficulty.
Toni's Leader Team is a community of practice that meets twice a month. Attunement is one of the rounds. What do we do when someone checks in with heavy emotions? We ask the person what they need most from us and then we give them multiple choices. In this snippet, Toni kicks off the attunement round concerned for her son. Hilary, so beautifully offers the question (with multiple choices). When Toni chooses the listening option, Hilary follows up with "What question do you want us to listen on?" LK10's way of responding to heavy emotions is modeled beautifully, and you can see how powerful the listening time was for Toni. Go here for the article on Responding to Heavy Emotions. If you would like to find a community of practice to belong to, sign up for an Intro Call with LK10.com today.
